A Feminine Path to Power: Part 2 - Inner Spring

Now more than ever #confinement we have the opportunity to tune inwards and connect to our body, our intuition, to listen to and use our menstrual cycle as a guide.

Every month, there is a new wave forming underneath us, building up and lifting us to new levels.

What if we were recognizing this special time and using it to build up our creativity and help us move towards our desires?

Yes, I am talking about our…

Inner Spring (Let’s get this party started!)

Spring is the season of new beginnings and possibilities, with our estrogen hormones pumping up the volume, we feel energized and enthusiastic!

After the deep rest of your inner Winter, you likely feel more interested in the outer world again and ready to launch new projects and ideas.

In terms of relationships too this is a time to let them flourish, so make space for flirtation energy…

To help you navigate this build up of energy let’s have a look at some of the inner Spring super powers*:

  • Building and expansion

    Your energy and self-esteem are all on the way up. With your level of estrogen going up gives you the momentum to build and expand self-worth or a new project or habit, your work and network. This is the ideal moment to start taking up space, be seen and use your voice.

  • Curiosity and exploration

    New opportunities appears and you realize you have many options, so it’s a good time to be curious, open and explore things. What calls your attention? What would you do if you could do anything? Now is the time to try and experiment with a new approach. And especially now that we got to be creative with keeping active indoor why not try that pilates, Zumba or Jade egg practice?

  • Playfulness

Time to connect to your child-like spirit and play! Have fun, be silly, play and bond with your children (and or partner) and enjoy yourself! You could feel more desire to move your energy at this time so put the music on and dance!

And also how to avoid the inner Spring dangers:

  • Exposing yourself

    You are buzzing with new ideas and you feel more confident, so naturally you feel like sharing them with everyone around you. At this stage I usually fee like shouting my new big idea but I’ve learned that also tempting, it might be best to wait a bit longer and not expose my whole game before it’s fully ready. Keep your ideas growing inside they’ll only be stronger when it’s show time (= inner Summer)

  • Getting distracted

    As you move towards the end of your Spring and estrogen is close to peaking, you could be feeling distracted because this phase is keen to get you on the move. You might have had lots of wonderful ideas come to you, but if you don’t focus on something now, you’ll miss out on the productivity of your inner Summer. Stay focused using techniques that grounds your energy like breathing or yoga.

Have a great weekend!
